TE-110 - Laws of Radiant Heat Transfer and Exchange

Reference : TE-110

General Description

The TE-110 is a complete experimental unit designed for studying the laws of radiant heat transfer. Thermal radiation is an energy transfer mechanism via electromagnetic waves emitted by any body above absolute zero.

This educational system allows investigation of thermal and light radiation, including UV, visible, and infrared radiation, making it ideal for physics and thermal science laboratories.

Main Features

The system includes two radiation sources: a thermal radiator and a light source. Detection is carried out using a thermopile for thermal radiation and a photodiode-based lux meter for light radiation.

Optical components such as filters, diaphragms, and absorption plates can be mounted on a graduated optical bench for precise distance measurements.

Measurement and Analysis

All components can be rotated to analyze the effect of angle of incidence on radiation intensity. Measured values are digitally displayed and transferred to a PC via USB for analysis.

Experiments

Lambert’s law (direction and distance)
Stefan-Boltzmann law
Kirchhoff’s laws
Radiation absorption and reflection
Thermal and light radiation studies
Influence of distance and angle
Wide experimental range

TE-106 - Free and Forced Convection System

Reference : TE-106

The TE-106 is a comprehensive educational system designed for studying and demonstrating thermal convection phenomena, including both natural (free) and forced convection. It is ideal for technical and academic laboratories.

🔬 Product Description

The system is based on a vertical air duct where different heating elements can be inserted. An axial fan located at the top draws ambient air into the duct and forces it through the channel.

As the air flows over the heating elements, it absorbs heat, enabling detailed analysis of convection processes. The unit includes four heating elements with different geometries, two of which can also be used outside the duct for natural convection experiments.

Its compact design ensures fast heating and efficient experimental operation.

⚙️ Key Features

Study of free and forced convection
Vertical air duct (125 x 125 x 1000 mm)
High-sensitivity speed-controlled fan
Multi-point temperature measurement system
Accurate air velocity sensor
Heating power: 290 W
Max air velocity: 4 m/s
User-friendly software compatible with Windows 10
Data acquisition system (DAQ) via Ethernet
Emergency stop and main switch included

🧪 Experiments

Natural (free) convection experiments
Forced convection experiments
Heat transfer comparison on different surfaces
Heat distribution analysis in the duct
Reynolds and Nusselt number calculations
Heat transfer coefficient determination
